(1998) are reconsidered. In that paper it is shown that the eigenfrequencies may have a damping rate due to two mechanisms causing a loss of energy. In non-uniform flux tubes the eigenmodes can be damped by resonant absorption. The other mechanism is leakage of wave energy into the surroundings, which can occur for both uniform and non-uniform flux tubes. We point out that the dispersion relations obtained by Stenuit et al. are correct for leaky and undamped non-leaky modes, but are not correct for resonantly damped non-leaky modes.}, year = {1999}, journal = {Astronomy & Astrophysics}, volume = {342}, number = {3}, pages = {863-866}, month = {Feb}, isbn = {0004-6361}, language = {eng}, }
